Hello! I'm Jenn and I've been a teacher for about 30 years. Most of my experience has been with teaching English Learners at the middle and high school level, but I've also taught EL/ESL at the college level for about five years, including a year and a half at a university in Japan. In addition, I've taught high school reading intervention for five years and am currently in my 12th year of teaching middle to high school AVID (took one AVID class from 7th-12th grade, sent them off to college, and now am in my sixth year with another AVID class). I'm passionate about student equity, culturally-responsive teaching, and student success and empowerment! Thanks so much for supporting my small business!
I try to make my teaching student-centered and engaging with a combination of direct instruction, project/inquiry-based learning, flipped learning, and collaborative learning.
